Location of foreign origin label on imported engine parts

No. 340. Location of foreign origin label on imported engine parts. OO In response to a request for an advisory opinion, the Commission advised an importer of fuel. injection parts and units, which are to be used as ‘Yeplacement parts in engines, that. it could disclose the foreign origin thereof on the container rather than on the product.

The engines are purchased by industrial and commercial users, and by individual consumers as well. Whenever possible, the imported products will be marked with the country of origin on the nameplate. Furthermore, the imported parts and units may be packaged individually or in certain specific quantities -per box. Because a number of the imported replacement parts are either too small to permit country of origin identification on the product itself, or may have highly finished surfaces which would be destroyed with marking, the question was raised as to whether it would be permissible to make the disclosure only on the container.
